CLUBS / ACTIVITIES INVOLVING STUDENTS 4 – 16 YEARS OLD

Once the club / activity is up and running it is essential that the club leaders should have:

      Weekly register of attendance and the necessary contact numbers of parents.
      Written health forms should be obtained pertaining to any illness/allergy.
      If the club takes place directly after school, provide the office with a list of pupils attending the
       club with the child’s registration class to enable easy distribution of the list. This list must be sent
       to the school office weekly if there are any additions or changes to pupils.
      In the case of clubs that take place directly after school, club registration should take place
       straight away and the office alerted if a pupil fails to turn up for the club.
      Report and complete the appropriate forms in the event of an accident or any serious incidents.
      Understand that the person responsible for running the club cannot rely on the School staff for
       help or First Aid.
      Children are not allowed to walk home on their own, unless you have a written arrangement
       with the parent (Years 6 only).

       first.
      The persons responsible for running the club MUST not leave any children in his/her care
       unattended at any time.
      In the event that a child is not collected they need to have a procedure for alerting the parent
       using their contact list and not expect the School to intervene to provide numbers.
      There should be sufficient ratio of staff to handle an emergency eg. a child is lost or is poorly
       during a session.

      The person responsible for the club/activity must take the children from or to the access point at
       the beginning and end of the session and hand the children over to the ‘named’ person who has
       authorisation to collect them. If children attend the After School Club (Safari Club) they must be
       escorted to the Studio where the club is held and handed to a member of the After School Club.

      Parents will be asked to wait outside the designated exit point just outside the doors in the KS2
       playground at the end of the session. Parents / carers need to understand that they will not be
       allowed to enter the building at the end of the session.

      The hirer has reviewed its responsibilities under the Data Protection Act 2018 (incorporating
       GDPR) and has taken appropriate technical and organisational measures to secure data
       subjects' rights.

The hall capacity or maximum permitted persons in a class must not be exceeded.

FIRST AID
The school cannot guarantee the presence of a qualified first aider. The group organiser
using the school accommodation should ensure they risk assess their particular activity
and determine their first aid needs, taking into account their client group.

The instructors of physical exercise activities should be qualified first aiders. They should
ensure they have the means to communicate with the emergency services to obtain help
if required.

Most emergencies can be resolved on the spot, however, in the event of a serious
incident, which could range from an injury or illness requiring medical treatment to a
fatality, the following formal procedures must be followed:

ALWAYS ENSURE YOUR OWN SAFETY FIRST

Minor Injury e.g. small cut, graze, bumps, bruises

 Take appropriate first aid action if trained.
 Make provision for the injured person to rest or continue as appropriate

Major injury

 DO NOT move them unless to leave them could result in further injury
 Ring for an ambulance.
                                                                                           10
Raglan Primary School and Nursery
                             Connect Schools Academy Trust

 Telephone the next of kin

In the case of children, the parent must be informed of any incident as soon as possible.

Record any accidents or injuries and ensure they are reported promptly to the school.
The school will then follow the council’s incident reporting procedures. In general, most
legally reportable accidents will need to be reported to the HSE by the hirer. They will,
however, have to be reported by the school if they result from a school work activity, or
are due to the state of the premises.

CONTACTING THE EMERGENCY SERVICES

When calling the emergency services it is important that they are given the full
information. Remember, when calling 999 for the police, ambulance or fire brigade, the
“control room” for these services may not be local, do not expect the operator to know
where the school is.

Procedure:

 Keep calm, speak clearly
 Give your name – state the service(s) that you require
 Give full name, address (including postcode) and telephone number of the school

Raglan Primary School,
Raglan Rd,
Bromley
BR2 9NL 0208 460 6558

Nearest main road or other landmark – access via Jaffray Rd, off Southlands Rd

 Location, details and time of the accident/incident
 Number of casualties and their condition together with the details of any treatment
  which is being administered or has been given
 Access point for the ambulance
 Someone should be instructed to meet the ambulance which will aid the medics to
  reach the casualty as quickly as possible

FIRE

The fire alarm is a loud continual sound, which is easily recognised.

                                                                                        11

On discovering a fire the fire alarm must be activated. Do not attempt to tackle the fire
unless safe to do so (i.e. the fire can be quickly extinguished with the minimum of risk to
self).

It is the responsibility of the hirer to ensure that all staff (both paid and voluntary)
involved understand the basic fire precaution arrangements and procedures:

   The location of fire alarm call points and how to use them
   The location of fire exits
   The location of fire assembly points
   The location of fire extinguishers and firefighting equipment
   The location of map
   The location of folder with all necessary details, which is located near the office
   The Fire Evacuation Plan

A fire assembly point should be allocated. If evacuation is necessary it is important to
remember the following golden rules:

   Don’t panic – keep a clear head
   Raise the alarm and call the fire services
   Do not stop to collect personal belongings or allow others to do so
   No heroics – people before property
   Assist visitors and people with disabilities on your way out if needed and if safe to
    do so
   Close doors behind you
   Where possible use the nearest fire exit
   Take all registers and once at the assembly point make sure that all participants and
    staff have been accounted for.
   Report any persons unaccounted for to the Fire Brigade
   Do not use any lifts
   Do not re-enter the building or allow others to do so until instructed by the Fire
    Officer in charge.
   Record any incident or injury and ensure it is reported promptly to the school (and
    RIDDOR if legally reportable).

Remember it is better to make 100 calls to the emergency services, than everyone
assumes that someone else has, and eventually make none!

Any sounding of an alarm (including false alarms) should be reported to the school.

                                                                                           12

THEFT

All thefts should be recorded, whether from the school or an individual. In the case of an
individual, take a record of the name, address and telephone number of the person
whom the theft has occurred against. Thefts from the school should be reported to the
school at the earliest opportunity. The school or person concerned should be asked if
they wish the theft to be reported to the police. While reporting it to the police you
should ask for a CAD (incident) number and make a note of the number for future
reference.

If there are reasonable grounds to suspect that a particular person may have been
involved in the theft then the police must be contacted and the person informed of the
course of action being taken.

If the person is still on the premises then they cannot be physically restrained or held
against their will; the same is applicable to the person’s property or clothing as this
constitutes assault. Every effort should be made to detain the person until the police
arrive.

ASSAULT

Should an actual or alleged assault take place, the most senior person available on site
should be informed or summoned.

The incident should be investigated in an attempt to find the background factors that led
to the assault and seek witnesses (names and addresses to be taken).

Where injury was sustained, first aid should be provided and if necessary the
ambulance and police services should be called. Report promptly to the school.

DRUG/ALCOHOL ABUSE

All persons found to be under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol should be asked to
leave the premises and if necessary escorted off the site by the most senior person
available. It is important that no one places themselves at risk when dealing with
disruptive or threatening behaviour relating from drug or alcohol abuse: in all such cases
the police should be summoned.

In serious cases (i.e. unconscious casualty) the ambulance service must be called. During
the interim period the casualty should be treated by a qualified first aider.

LOST PERSON

It is not the responsibility of teachers or any members of the school staff
                                                                                       13

In the event of a child (4 -16 years) being lost the following procedure should be
followed:
     The person who has responsibility for the club must make contact with the parent
       of the child
     The person responsible must alert the caretaker.
     The person responsible can calmly seek the assistance of other parents.
     If the child is not found after 10 minutes, and the adults who were asked to help
       have returned to inform you that the child cannot be found, the police need to be
       informed.
     In an emergency call 999. PCSO – 0208 284 8847.
